<p>I couldn't find any answers on google but does UCLA do admissions by major?
I'm planning on applying as an engineer but I have low math scores so would it be smarter to apply for science? </p>
<p>Also how hard is it to switch into the engineering major? I'm thinking chemical or electrical engineering.</p>
<p>they admit by college. So college of engineering, college of letters and science, blah balh blah… It is easy to switch to a different engineering major if you are already in the college of engineering, but if you are not then you better be the best student in your college.</p>
<p>Hard to switch into College of Engineering, but easy to switch out of it or to different majors within it if you’re accepted to it in the first place.</p>
<p>All universities will admit by colleges and engineering usually has a separate college. There’s no way out of it. You need a high math test score.</p>
<p>UCLA also admits transfer students depending on the major.</p>
<p>No way, I’m sure UCLA engineering admits by major. And changing major is a tedious task that’s not guaranteed and does depend heavily on GPA, despite whatever ******** the counselors told you at Open House/Orientation.</p>
<p>OK so the general consensus is that even if I’m a little bit remotely interested in Engineering that I should apply to that school. </p>
<p>Is there like a back up major where I can apply to a different school? My dream has always been to go to UCLA and I know of some people who aren’t that bright that got in from my school. Unfortunately they applied to non-engineering majors.</p>
<p>OP, you can apply to UCLA as an Undeclared Engineering Major. My son was accepted for that for 2010. It’s a good option if you know you want to do engineering but don’t know what type you want to pursue. However, it is a highly competitive major and you need to have top scores/GPA to be admitted to engineering undeclared.</p>
